We are very sad to announce that the legendary French actor, Michel Piccoli renowned for a string of celebrated performances for directors such as Luis Bunuel, Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle, has died aged 94.

Amongst his many celebrated performances, Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963, “Le Mépris”, earned him his well-deserved accolade and love for cinema when he played Paul Javal, opposite Brigitte Bardot as the scriptwriter hired to work on an adaptation of The Odyssey.
